Sparklets 5 gallon bottle/ any big water container and this http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-Portable...oAAOSwt5hYcgyy

I use this as warm post dive shower. Fill up with hot water before I leave the house and its usually still warm 6 hours later when I'm getting out of the water. Cant beat 13$.

No need to have a washdown pump on your kayak, though it would be nice...all you need for your on the kayak needs is just like jim has pictured, some sort of container. Personally I have a plastic pitcher from the .99c store that I not only use for rinsing and cleaning while on the water, I use it to dump water into my bait tank as a back up.

Now as far as washing your kayak down...get yourself or build yourself a washdown system for your car or truck. That should solve your problems with the salt and the sand....

Carry a few rags and some sort of water container in your kayak and you're good to go.

Here's the washdown tank.......post 494

Yeah some type of container is a really practical idea, but something I rarely have out there.

Ahhh, like the washdown tank thanks for the thread!

If you want something portable what do you think of this?http://www.homedepot.com/p/Roundup-2...0459/205730091
I used to have one that I put up a set of misters on. I would put it in the daughters dugout during softball games. Worked great on hot days.

If you want to rinse off your gear, you need volume and pressure. The insecticide sprayer offers pressure but no volume. You can get your gear wet with it...but rinsing it off cleanly and quickly is just not possible unless you open it up and dump the water out on your gear...

Or you can just wait until you get home and wash everything down in the driveway
